Open stuff for Tuwhera, research support at Te Mātāpuna | AUT Library, Aotearoa.
pinned post!
Craig Murdoch & I wrote this after interviewing editors from
@tuwhera.bsky.social
journals. The message is clear: investing even a small percentage of the budgets that go to the commercial publishers could sustain a shared OA infrastructure for Aotearoa.

"academic publishing is dominated by profit-oriented, multinational companies for whom scientific knowledge is a commodity to be sold back to the academic community who created it... The dominant four collectively generated... $12 billion in profits between 2019 and 2024."

Here's the thing, we already were amongst the lowest levels of funding for research in the developed world. And these cuts & reprioritisations make this even worse. You can't determine immediate economic implications from a lot, if not most, research. So, these decisions misunderstand science.

"Every science publisher pays men more than women. In 2024, the lowest median pay gap favouring men was 9.5% (Springer-Nature), followed by Sage (13.3%), Wiley (17.7%), and Informa (formerly Taylor & Francis) (22.7%)."

So below is on the uptake of new AI-based tools in scholarly publishing, of Oxford University Press partnering with Hum on an "AI-based editorial assistant." [And note that they are actually naming the type of job this tool is meant to be a substitute for.]

Looking forward to soon replacing "should" with "will". "non-commercial open access routes, like the “diamond” model, should be promoted, and research assessments should shift away from focusing on journal rankings to encourage more responsible research dissemination."

As we talk about Microsoft and Amazon pulling back on data center projects, don’t ignore what’s happening in China, where “projects are failing, energy is being wasted, and data centers have become ‘distressed assets’ whose investors are keen to unload them at below-market rates.”
loading . . .
China built hundreds of AI data centers to catch the AI boom. Now many stand unused.
The country poured billions into AI infrastructure, but the data center gold rush is unraveling as speculative investments collide with weak demand and DeepSeek shifts AI trends.
